Quick Fix Stability Ball

Keli Roberts
Year Released: 2003

Categories: Balance/Medicine/Mini/Stability Ball, Total Body Workouts


This is one of my favorite stability ball workouts. It is extremely time efficient which for some reason seems to be rare in Ball workouts. Usually the instructor spends so much time explaining the move and you lose valuable workout time while watching. In this workout, Keli teaches the move quickly and gives good pointers while you are doing the workout.

As others have said, there are 3-10 minutes sections. Ideally, I would like a lower body and upper body workout to be longer than 10 minutes, so these 2 sections often end up being add-ons for me. However, the entire 30 minutes, does make a nice little total body workout. The upper body workout is complete on its own and covers all the upper body parts. The lower body routine, doesn't seem quite as complete to me, and this section doesn't get used as often as the others.

The ab/core routine is very nice. It is easier than Cathe's ball work, but it is not too easy. It includes an easier version of the pike, so if you struggle with that, this is a nice alternative. It also includes some planks and back work, along with traditional ab moves.

Overall, if you enjoy using a stability ball, I think this is a great workout to own.
